Hi,
For any Aussie down the Southeast in strife.
I learnt today that all the southeast is under. I knew Rocky was under from CNN on the net. But that was a week ago and thought that was the end. Apparently, now they are or were up to their "boobs" in Toowoomba. Toowoomba? You kidding.?
Cutting to the chase, it occurred to me that there are a few guys on this site from down that area and perhaps any planned refuse, if in need, with inlaws or friends has disappeared, with those being in the same position.
I'm high and dry in Ayr in an empty three bedroom house. You have anything or anyway I can help, PM me..
IF you can find transport for anything, I can get south to Makay and up to Townsville. Bowen in between. Once loaded, distance is irrelevant. The Tilt train and Sunlander have'nt passed my house for days. So I guess rail is out until they check the lines and bridges. Mail is coming through, air to Townsville I guess. No road transport north because of Rocky. Hell, no roads anywhere.
If you are on the net I suppose you are okay. But may know some person up poop creek with nowhere to turn. I think it could help to take some pressure off them, to be able to stash gear or pets etc..I have good yard. Scruffy or Rocket and other canine friends welcome. Cats?. Shoot 'em. Never settle. I figure people would want to stay close to home regardless,to be in touch with local relief systems.
Believe me, at 65 and having knocked around a bit, this younger generation's nightmare is just beginning. Related to recovering their lives due to the flood I mean. Bad as this is, the fallout will be horrendous.
Good luck .........Bas.
Thanks to Mayhem for the space.
